How do I encode my Cora `.pem` certificates properly?

Head to Cora Bank's portal and setup an API App yielding you exactly the Client Credentials and a certificate pairing (Public CERT `.pem`/`.crt` and Private `.key`). Go to a UNIX shell / MacOS Terminal: `base64 -i my_key.key` to get the key text, and `base64 -i my_cert.pem` to get the cert text. The unformatted, unbroken blocks are the credentials you paste directly to us.

Does Cora produce a separate Pix link from its Boleto command?

In Cora's domain, executing `cora_create_invoice` natively packages everything. A single entity 'Invoice' acts as both your printable boleto format AND a highly specific Dynamic QR Pix, ensuring multiple avenues for your clients.

Will an outgoing Pix from my chat be instant?

Absolutely. Emitting an explicit request down the `cora_send_pix` route connects instantaneously down Cora's active routing engine (Sistema de Pagamentos Instantâneos - SPI/Bacen) draining specific liquidity.

Can I cancel unpaid user invoices rapidly from MCP?

Of course! Call upon the unneeded identifier within your chat interface, prompting the logic `cora_cancel_invoice`, pulling the document from global banking registration.

Cora Bank + Claude Desktop FAQ

Common questions about integrating Cora Bank MCP Server with Claude Desktop.

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
